Heroes of Might and Magic V [Game Discussion]

Guys! Has anyone actually won against the AI on Hero difficulty? Is that even possible?! I haven't played as Barbarian in a long time – it's too easy. On Veteran, I could win in about 10% of cases, regardless of the chosen faction. On Hero, it's completely impossible! I was defeated in 3 in-game weeks on a medium-sized map. In this case, I was playing "Battle of the Titans." The enemy hero's stats were twice as good. On the "Warlords" map, I was defeated even faster! The AI is clearly cheating! It adds troops to its army right in the middle of the field, without even going to its castle! Is this normal behavior for the developers?! (I'm playing Tribes of the East 3.1). What kind of ridiculous difficulty levels are these? On "Barbarian," you can easily defeat the AI, but on Veteran, the AI easily defeats you?
